Narrative

Bay Cove's supported housing program provides assistance for high functioning, independent adults with developmental disabilities who live in their own apartments throughout the Metropolitan Boston area. Some may also have a mental illness, but their primary diagnosis is developmental disabilities.

Staff members provide up to fifteen hours each week of individualized case management and direct care as needed by each person. These services are flexible and can change depending upon the particular circumstances. Overall, the main goal of staff is to enhance independence for each person in the program and to help them determine their roles in the community.

Each person’s daily activities are based on individual abilities. Many people work in competitive jobs throughout the Boston area. Others require more support through programs funded by the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) or the Mass Rehab Commission (MRC).
